3½" Magnifier — This frameless, 3½" diameter magnifier features 2.5X magnification with a bifocal lens that magnifies up to 4X. Convenience features include an ergonomic rubberized handle and an easy on/off switch. Two AAA batteries are required for operation (not included).

5" Lighted Bifocal Magnifier — This 5" diameter magnifier features 2X magnification, with a bifocal insert that magnifies up to 6X. It has an easy on/off switch. Two AAA batteries are required for operation (not included).

If only the construction,, in particular the illumination system, measured up to the lens quality! For my visual problems the lens is of both good quality and good size. The battery compartment is of another matter. The tiny electric connectors easily fall out and are easily lost, and worse yet, the manufacturer cannot (or won't) replace them. If illumination is important to you, don't buy. However, you may find the lens performance alone to be worth the price.
